The chuds will show up at sports events. Spain is one of the only EU countriest strongly resisting its position as a US vassal state.
Someone from Spain can maybe give some more perspective. Would be interested in knowing if the population at large is also falling into xenophobia and nationalism. I see a lot of Europe having its nationalist anti Muslim movements strengthen in a time of anti American views. It’s like the vassals of Europe denying they are vassals of American empire and somehow still falling into the same xenophobia that America uses to justify its terrorism in West Asia.
It’s like blaming the victims of the empire that owns the leaders in your country (less so Spain obviously).
Racism and xenophobia isn’t new to Europe whether in the west or east. Especially not in soccer matches. I don’t know a year where racist chants weren’t a problem for non-white players in Europe. Don’t hear about it as much as before. If you’re not white, you will experience racism in Europe especially outside of the major cities with large historic immigrant populations and you’ll less likely have bystanders come to your defense compared to like in the US, Canada, Australia
Before Trump 1, I thought the neo-Nazi groups in Europe were better organized and closer to mainstream. Trump just gave the movements in the US a major boost. All the focus on the US is distracting leftist Europeans from their own internal decay. Even if national rally loses the next election in France, they’re seemingly getting closer each go around
And imperialism, marketing says Europe had some humanist epiphany in its period of decolonization, but that immediately ignores stuff like Algeria, Vietnam, Suez crisis. Stuff like French coups across the Sahel. Assassinations of leaders in Africa by former European colonial master countries. Assassination attempt on Iranian prime minister. Afghanistan in general since the end of the Durani empire. Sterilization of intuit people of Greenland. European nations haven’t been unwilling benefactors of American imperialism. It was a failure to maintain their own imperial power that had them volunteer to playing the gang leaders posse members
Large anti-immigration marches have been happening across numerous European countries for years now. They seem to be growing. In western Europe I recall Spain and Italy are standouts in terms of growing xenophobia with non-white immigrants and tourists
